Applications due Friday for Sound Transit's Citizen Oversight Panel

Sound Transit is seeking South King County volunteers for its Citizen Oversight Panel.

Those interested must be a registered voter within the Sound Transit District and reside and/or work in South King County. They should have skills in one or more areas related to the panel's responsibilities: business and finance management; engineering; large projects construction management; public facilities and services; government processes; and public policy development or review.
